Here are the top five highest grosser films of all time.

"Singham Returns" to Affect "Kick"

"Kick" will finish its third week run at the domestic box office on Thursday and will begin the fourth week on the Independence Day. However, on the same day, Ajay Devgn's "Singham Returns" will hit the screens with a huge screen count.

The screen count of "Kick" declined after the release of "Entertainment" and it will decline further once "Singham Returns" hits the screen, which will affect the business of the Salman starrer.
